I wish Brooker could bring himself to confront the current state of the country but I'd hate for it to depress him until he kills himself. Stick with the cheery and upbeat Black Mirror, Charlie.

Sorry mate NZ is already run by a coalition between the neolibs and a fascist party

Ardern managed to do some incredible politicking after the Christchurch massacre, she put on a hijab and looked sad and everyone was so shook we all forgot she ran on an explicitly anti-immigrant platform and is in coalition with a mob of howling xenophobes who would happily have deported every single person who got killed

Yeah that poo poo blew my mind. There are literally journos who wrote stuff like "the german SPD politicians should take some inspirations from Ardern" and i was :psypop:.
But she looks progressive, sure.

to an American, Australia just looks like a hyper exaggerated version of our culture but without guns. Australians are viewed as loud drunks who come in Blonde City Dwelling folk with lots of make up and sports clothing, and brown haired country bumpkins who are probably racist to your native brown peoples and might gently caress the kangaroos before or after the BBQ.

in earnest when you look at pictures of people partying in Melbourne or Sydney it looks like a bunch of people at an America themed costume party, so it’s not at all surprising Halloween is catching on.

PS the only Australian anyone under 30 can name is Jim Jeffries. I’m 32 and I can also name Mel Gibson, Wolverine, and Crocodile Dundee. Australia doesn’t have great cultural representation here, although that probably has
more to do with that episode of the Simpsons than anything else.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Mostly down under Halloween is seen as something perfectly fun to steal from the Americans to actually get people out, an excuse to throw parties and get drunk which is always welcome, and increasingly a chance to laugh at the old fucks who grump at the kids about it being American.

Its pretty much the same as everywhere else. Most people use pumpkins these days and say trick or treating rather than guising thanks to American cultural imperialism.
